I leave the back door open for Buddy to do his business outside and whenever he does, I reward him. I leave the backdoor open 24-7 so he can go outside to pee or poop. He does go outside and uses the bathroom out there, but he also does it everywhere in the house! I’m moving into an apartment soon and need to train him to do it outside or on a training pad. What’s the best way to train my dog to do that?
Things you will need to housetrain your puppy are a properly fitted crate, a collar and leash, some treats, and time and patience.
You also need to pick a spot for your puppy to go potty. Using the same spot each time will help the puppy recognize that this is where he should go, and the smell from going there other times will help him go potty faster when you take him out.
I don’t recommend using doggie litter boxes or those puppy pads. If you want your dog to always go potty in the house fine, then use this article to teach them to go there. But don’t complain to me when your dog starts going other places in the house. Dogs often times cannot tell the difference between a puppy pad and your expensive rug. All they know is its ok to go potty in the house so any area with a roof is fair game for elimination. Also trying to paper train a dog and then trying to switch the dog to going outside is counterproductive and confusing for the dog. Doing this will only slow the training down. So forget the puppy pads and start teaching your dog to go outside from day one. If you have already been using them throw them out and start all over from the beginning, but keep mind the process may take a little longer the second time around since once your dog has bad habits they are hard to break. Its much easier to prevent them than to correct them later.
When looking for a crate you want one that is big enough for your dog to stand up, turn around and lay down. You don’t want it so big that he can lay in one end and use the other end as a bathroom. If he can do this trust me he will. There are all kinds of different styles of crates: the two most common are wire and plastic. But they come in mesh, wicker, all sorts of different materials now. I would recommend choosing either a wire or plastic one, especially for puppies that like to chew. Here are some pros and cons of plastic and wire crates.
Plastic: These come in several sizes so can accommodate nearly every size of dog. They also give a more den like feeling to the dog and have less of a cage look. The disadvantage to these crates is that you may need to buy more than one to accommodate a growing puppy, and they take up more room if you want to store them even though they usually will come apart in halves for storage. There are also some newer plastic crates that will fold up similar to a wire crate.
Wire: Like the plastic crate these also come in a variety of sizes. They do look more like cages though, something that can be fixed by purchasing a cover for it. A cover will also help some dogs feel more secure in a wire crate. The advantage of these is that you can buy a size to fit your dog when it is full grown. Wire crates have dividers available for purchase so that you can make the crate fit your puppy. These also have a storage advantage in that most fold up very neatly and can be stored easily.
Next you will need to introduce your puppy to its crate. Just sticking the puppy in there without a positive introduction can be very stressful for the pup. I like to bring a new puppy home on a day off, and try to pick it up as soon as possible in the morning. This way I have all day to introduce the puppy to the crate so that by bedtime the puppy will feel pretty comfortable with its crate and shouldn’t fuss to much.
Start by showing the puppy the crate and let him explore it. Next show your puppy a treat and then toss it inside. When your puppy goes in to get the treat praise him excitedly. Repeat this a few times and then end this session. If your pup won’t go all the way in the crate to get the treat try throwing it closer to the door, or even outside the door and then gradually toss it farther back, until the pup goes all the way in.
After an hour or two have another session with crate. If your pup went all the way in the last time start there, if not start at the point you left off. After a couple times of going in the crate and coming right back out you can shut the door. But let the pup out after a second or two. Repeat this gradually increasing the amount of time the pup is in the crate. If you do this several times the first day by the time your ready for bed your pup should be pretty comfortable with the crate. I also like to repeat this process for a day or two after the pup comes home.
Also remember that whenever your dog is crated you need to remove any type of collar, even a buckle collar can catch on a crate and strangle a dog.
Now that you have your crate set up and your pup introduced to it you need to put your puppy on a feeding schedule. Puppies 8 wks to 6 months should be given three meals a day. After six months this can be cut down to 2 meals. Free-feeding (having food available all the time) is not recommended. It can lead to obesity and makes it harder to housetrain your puppy. Another disadvantage to this feeding method is that it will be harder for you tell if your dog is off food which can be a sign of i

slipknot – i am hated
13 Jul 2010
slipknot – i am hated!My 7 year old Pomeranian has grown up with full access to a backyard but my job is relocating me and I’ll be living in an apartment. Any tips on what I can do to train her to use a piddle pad without restricting her?
To clarify, of course I would walk her in the AM and PM but when I’m away from the house for 10hrs a day, there really in no other option than than the security of knowing that she’ll learn to use the piddle pad in case she needs to go…
The puppy pads have a scent on them that attracts the dog to go on it, so she’ll pick it up pretty quickly on where to go.
How do I train an old dog to go outside?
04 Jul 2010
To keep this short and sweet. I have two dogs. One is 17 and the other is 6. Both have had previous owners that trained them to do their duty inside. The 17 year old was trained to use the bathroom floor and the other was trained with a puppy pad and litter box. I want them to go outside. I currently have a litter mat inside for them to use, but occasionally they will go back to their old habits. How do I retrain them to go outside?
Train them just as you would a puppy: supervise, confine, schedule potty breaks. When the dogs are inside they are either being supervised or are confined to their crates, an exercise pen, or to a small room behind a baby gate. Schedule regular potty trips outside. The elderly dog will need to go outside every 3 to 4 hours, a few minutes after each meal, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Take them both out together because if one dog relieves himself the other probably will too. Dogs are creatures of habit. It may take a couple months, but once the habits have been established then they will be waiting until they get outside to go.
My Puppy Max – Short Training Video
18 Jun 2010
This is a short training video of my 11month old puppy Max. This isn’t a how-to video, I’m just showing what he can do.
He’s a poodle- scottish terrier mix. As you can see, I’m not a professional trainer, but I do try to teach him the basics. This video shows him doing four things- going up on my lap with the command “Come up here”, going down on the floor with the command “Down”, and sitting with “Sit”, and going inside his kennel with the command “Go in”.
The way I teach him is very traditional- teach the trick, give a treat, repeat, repeat, repeat. If any viewer has a good suggestion on improving this teaching technique, then by all means, please leave a comment.
In addition to these tricks, he’s also housebroken. I trained him to “go” on peeing pads with the pheromone. Then a few weeks after he’s fully trained using the pads, I taught him to pee in the garage by placing peeing pads beneath an indoor peeing tray called UGODog.
He still has a lot to learn, but he’s a very smart and sweet dog. He’s in the process of learning to stay when a treat is placed on his nose and how to shake hands.
My girlfriend ADORES this pup.

I have a havanese dog named Holly who is almost 2 years old now. She goes on pee pads but the problem is SHE decides whether they are dirty or not so she finds other places in the house to do her business. She has one room to herself during the day with her crate and a pee pad and somehow her crate always seems to be soiled in. It doesn’t matter to her if her blankets are pee stained. My family insists I teach her to go outside instead of a pee pad and crate train her, but I’m worried she cannot go the entire day in a crate because everyone in the family either works or goes to school. She is small so she does have to go more than once or twice a day. Today Holly reached my limit when she peed on my mothers new couch. I don’t know what to do and I’m hoping someone can help?!Please!
Honestly, your dogs may not be getting enough attention. Expecting a toy breed to stay at home all day (more than 4-5 hours), everyday, with no company or love, and then be perfectly well behaved, is unrealistic and unfair to her.
Hire a neighborhood person to come walk the dog in the afternoon. Put her in doggy day care. Find a friend that can take care of her during the day.
Potty issues are pretty much the number one reasons that toy breeds are turned in. Some toys never learn the kinds of potty habits that please their owners. Many are perfect, but unfortunately, many will never be.
Of course, check with your vet to make sure there is nothing else going on. THis would be my first step. Discuss options with him/her.
You could also try litter training – some toy breeds take to this better than cats.
If you bought from a reputable breeder, try contacting them for advice. They may be able to offer additional solutions, being very familiar with the breed.
Edit:
"rub her nose in it and spank her butt. then send her outside and don’t let her in for an hour or so. " THis person is a moron. Hitting your dog and rubbing her nose in it will only teach her to be afraid of you and the action. Instead of peeing in the right place, the dog will hide it better. The dog will also run from you everytime it does something marginal, and possibly all the time. People that think like this pi$$ me off because they are so ill-informed. NO reputable trainer would EVER have you use these stupid techniques.
is it possible to house train a dog that has always lived outside, I might be moving to a apartment only if I can train my dog to use a pad or go outside to pee? So is it to late to train them?
of course you can. you can house train just about any dog and sometimes it might take a while, but you can still do it.

My dog is about a year old and is peeing everywhere. I would really love to teach her how to go outside, plus the training pads are extremely expensive. Please help!
Yes, as someone else said, this is a perfect example of why potty pads are a bad idea.
What you’ll probably need to do is start taking her outside when she’s approaching her pad. Bring it with her and put it on the ground. Do not talk to her, do not look at her. Ignore her until she starts to go and then praise her heavily. This could take a while. Eventually you can phase the pad out.
